E-grāmata: Dakota

“The writing is top-notch, and the action builds at just the right pace . . . [ Amateur sleuth] Lola Wicks is going to be around for a long, long time.” —Kirkus Reviews

For a foreign correspondent used to the high stakes of war zones in Afghanistan, Lola Wicks is getting restless working the local news beat in the small town of Magpie, Montana. So when Judith Calf Looking, a Blackfeet woman who has been missing for months, is found frozen in a snowbank, Lola’s journalist instincts go on alert.

The sheriff, otherwise known as the romantic reason Lola is still in Magpie, believes Judith froze while hitchhiking back to the reservation. But when Lola learns that Judith had been working as a stripper in a small North Dakota oil town, and that several Blackfeet women have gone missing over the past year, she sets out in search of answers. What she finds is a world full of tough men and corrupt cops, where women are treated poorly and no one cares. For the first time in a long time, Lola may be in over her head. Not that a little danger has ever stopped her. . . .
